Thankyou Bryan / Sarah Burns (Another Angel mum )
Everytime I visit this site my eyes fill with tears and I wonder how perfect Gods garden must be with all of our special angels there. I was never privilaged to meet Bryan but from the words of his family and my own thoughts and feelings I know what a very special person he was and one who has touched my life so deeply. Suicide is often thought of as the easy way out but it isnt, there is a stigma attatched to it and I feel so much compassion for Bryan and his family. Before I lost Matt I suffered mental health problems (thankyou Bryan for giving me the courage to admit that on a website) I was suicidal at that time and it was only the fact that people saw how ill I was that saved me. Sinse I lost my precious son Ive thought of suicide again and I can honestly say that the words on this website have stopped me taking it further, i couldnt put my family through what you are going through and so Bryan has saved my life. I am so honoured to know him if only through a website and hope that I will get to meet him when I go 'home'. To Matthews angel uncle, thankyou for taking care of him until I get there, I know hes in safe hands with you. Hugs to Bryan and all his family Sarah, Matthews mum xx Close

The hurt...... / Becky (visitor)
To Mary Ann and every member of Bryan's family. I did not know your son yet I sit here typing as tears fall unto my lap. I cry for Bryan and I cry for each of you. I share your pain. On April 19, 2003 my beautiful neice Candice Jo Bertram, put a gun in her mouth and took her life. The pain, the emptiness, the WHY..WHY...WHY...
I hope and pray that you can find comfort in knowing that Bryan is now happy and has no more hurt in his heart. I hope he meets Candice and they can walk hand in hand as the beautiful angels that they are.
DEAR BRYAN, JUST NEED TO TALK TO YOU. I HAD HOPED BY NOW IT WOULD BE BETTER. NOT - MY LIFE IS AT A STAND STILL.. I FACE EACH DAY BUT THERE IS NO JOY FOR LIVING.

A note to Mary Ann/ Deborah Murray
Oh Mary Ann, Bryan did love you, as my son loved me but I think they just felt like there was no hope for happiness, could not see light at the end of the tunnel and on impulse and alcohol, chose the only outlet they knew without thinking of the hurt they would cause those who loved them.Your Bryan was very handsom and sounds like he was very much loved. Your nieces's letter was beautiful and very heartfelt. I don't know if you are familar with the "Parents of Suicide" web site or not but if you are not, you should check it out. It saved my life and I can not go one day without getting on it. Everyone there has the same a bond that no one wants to be a part of. I'm so sorry for your loss and I pray that God will heal our hearts. Sincerely, Deborah Murray Close

Bryan and I went to school together and have been friends since the 3rd grade. We rode the same bus, we played football together, and we were class clowns. As we got older we had more responsibilities and grew a little further apart. Everytime I would come down to our neighborhood were we grew up and ran all the time, I would call Bryan and we would get together. Sometimes it would be months before we seen each other but it was always a happy moment. I will not forget the last time I came down and Bryan came over he had his work boots on with a pair of shorts and no shirt. He had caught a jar full spiders. I am going to eventually build a house down there and move back,and Bryan told me he couldn't wait so we could run around like ole times. I was really looking forward to that. I am still moving back, and I will never forget him. A person couldn't ask for a better than Bryan.I will miss him and always love him like a brother.
my only brother/ Mark Davis (3rd brother)
I grew up next door to Bryan, I had two sisters,two aunts and my mom, who was divorced. So no brothers,or dad to really relate to. From the first time Bryan and I played together, around 1979, to Oct. 18th, we were more than best friends, we were brothers. He called me brother and I called him brother. Bryan had two older brothers, but, Bryan was the only brother I ever had. Like brothers, we didn't always agree, but, it didn't matter to either one of us, because five minutes later we were best buds again. When we were together, I have never laughed so hard in my life, many times, MANY TIMES, we would laugh so hard that we would both just be crying with laughter. Bryan and I told each other that we loved each other many times through out our lives. I would give all my material possessions if he would have only called me that night,........... When I lost Bryan that night I lost the best friend I ever had and the only brother I have ever known. As long as I am alive, you will NEVER be forgotten..... I love you bub...Mark. Close
